Updates and Health Condition!
    4 years ago
            Alright, let me get to the bad/mixed news first. And I will keep it brief.
Since it's getting closer to that time for me, I figured I should let everyone know (EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T GOING TO BE BAD I THINK) that I am going in to get surgery to remove a cancerous mole on my upper-right lip.
From what the surgeon could see a while back (Roughly almost a month ago), has stated that the mole I have is cancerous, but potentially benign. Given that we saw signs early enough and I told my primary care physician about it, it was confirmed that it needed to be removed regardless, just in case.
HOWEVER: It is not confirmed that it is cancerous and spreading, and we only can see at the surface. And given the location of the mole, it can be incredibly dangerous if it spreads, given it is a form of skin cancer at the early stages.
The best case scenario from what the surgeon has said: We cut it off, send it to the labs, and if it comes out as still benign, then it isn't going to spread further as it is fully removed. If the labs report that it was spreading, I just need to cut off more, giving me a bigger scar. No chemo needed.
Worst case scenario: If it was spreading before the surgery and we didn't notice immediately, I do risk having to go into chemo. But given my family doesn't have a history of skin cancer, that is highly unlikely but a very very small chance by the time I get into surgery.
I am going to be going in for surgery this month on September 27th early in the morning. This has been... really on my mind and stressing me the heck out.

In other news and a more positive note: I have been getting better with using Blender. I'm still not quite confident yet on posting anything just yet, but I have started to become more proud of what I have accomplished. I do wonder if I should do it in the method of rendering the pictures I make in Blender, or if I should upload it onto NeosVR and share screenshots of it in game when I make finishing touches on it? Or maybe both to show what it is now, then what the completed project is? Which one do you think? I will make sure to credit anyone who has done work on my model for any potential finishing touches. (Like those who did texture work on my model, the character that I am using is based off of, crediting that species author, etc.)

Awesome to hear that you're getting better with using Blender! Keep it up! ^^
And yeah, it is what is helping me stay distracted with all the going-on. It's kinda nice and relaxing admittedly!
Would be fun to see your Blender work! ^w^
And for certain! Be one of the few times I start posting up something different. And something I've worked on! It'll be enjoyable. ^-^ I'm no artist, but I've enjoyed messing with Blender.
